Reducing authoring costs of online training in microelectronics design by reusing design documentation content

摘要

The authoring of online educational material for microelectronics design is costly and requires expertise that the educators may not have. In this paper, we address this issue - more specifically the case of online training - and propose a technique to reduce authoring costs by reusing the documentation content from a design database. An extension for the design database model is presented, in order to comply to the LOM standard for learning objects, and a case study using a course creation tool is reported.
